ਸਾਰਗ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ॥
saarag mehlaa 5.
Saarang, Fifth Mehl:
ਬਿਨੁ ਹਰਿ ਹੈ ਕੋ ਕਹਾ ਬਤਾਵਹੁ ॥
bin har hai ko kahaa bataavhu.
Tell me: other than the Lord, who exists?
ਸੁਖ ਸਮੂਹ ਕਰੁਣਾ ਮੈ ਕਰਤਾ ਤਿਸੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਸਦਾ ਧਿਆਵਹੁ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
sukh samooh karunaa mai kartaa tis parabh sadaa Dhi-aavahu. ||1|| rahaa-o.
The Creator, the Embodiment of Mercy, bestows all comforts; meditate forever on that God. ||1||Pause||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Tell me, besides the One, who is there?
The Maker, kindness itself, gives every comfort there is. So remember that One, always.
Look closely at anything, and it is the One looking back.
There is no second besides the One, and that One is mercy itself.
Bin har hai ko — other than the One, who is? — points straight at the Oneness: there is no true second. Karunaa mai — made of mercy — names the One as compassion itself; dhi-aavahu, keep remembering, turns the whole heart there.
A Question to Sit With
If the same One were inside every person you met today, how might you treat them?
